Carol & Kate have come together to create this expansive place to awaken your Spiritual Self
Carol
My collaboration with Kate to create this online platform is grounded in my life-long quest for greater spiritual awareness and exploring healing traditions. I started this journey when I was in my 20’s.
I explored the Wiccan tradition of self-empowerment and gathered wild plants and herbs to prepare medicines based on age-old, traditional herbalist remedies. More recently, my practice has been informed by the traditional teachings of my Lakota friend and Sundance leader Wylie and my adopted Lakota niece Leslie who are both residents of the Cheyenne River Reservation, SD.
My friend Cherie Sardella, who has practiced Lakota and Haudenosaunee ceremonies for decades, has had a profound influence on my personal growth and my own healing. I studied with Barbara Sanson and Tom Cratsley at Lily Dale and served there at the Healing Temple one summer. I also attended circles led by Deena Metzger, Dare’ Leader, from Topanga, CA, from whom I learned the values of meditation and journeying, opening my heart to receive messages from spirit, and learned to pose questions, wait patiently for guidance, rather than to obsessively seek answers through mental investigation.
I studied Tai Chi with Connie Antoniades and I recently completed a Reiki 1 class with Kate. I have integrated the teachings from all these mentors and my individual experiences into my own intuitive healing practice. I am a member of the Church of the Living Spirit and am a member of the Lily Dale Assembly. I identify as a Spiritualist and I am grounded in Natural Law that guides the beliefs and practices of Spiritualism. My current healing practice is an offering of myself to be used as a conduit for the transfer of healing from spirit to this physical plane and on to the person who seeks healing. I believe the combined efforts of confident, spiritual individuals in a positively-connected healing group (which must also include the agency of the person who seeks healing) intensifies the healing potential.
Kate
My spiritual journey began during a time of great sickness. I looked to the spiritual realms as the physical mainstream medical professionals failed me in a big way. Reiki, Spirituality and “Creating My Own Reality” healed my physical body and opened my mind to a new way of life.
In 2014 I opened a thriving local healing center. Today I am semi-retired, but continue to teach Reiki and conduct healing sessions, both remotely and in person, using reiki and hypnosis among other modalities. I have studied “Reiki” with a local Master, “Spiritual Insight Training” at Fellowships of the Spirit, in Lily Dale, NY, ”Hypnotherapy and QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) Practitioner” methodologies with American School of Hypnosis and Dolores Cannon respectively, “Ho’oponopono” with Dr. Haleakala Hew Len and Joe Vitale, and “Shamanism” as taught by the Four Winds method. I am a co-founder of The Seth House. Serving as Vice-President and Treasurer from 2017-2022.
I bring my skills in business management, website design, desktop publishing, and my extensive experience with 501(c)(3) charitable foundations to benefit the success of this new journey.
I regularly attend class for hypnotherapy instruction, breath work, shamanism, women’s empowerment, yoga and intuitive circle development.
As I have been navigating the beliefs and practices associated with new age and the spiritual world, I have always wished for a space to learn from those who were considered top in their field; those who were ready and willing to share the knowledge they have learned. I seek places that are safe to share ideas without the fear of judgement. My desire is for the collaboration on this online platform to result in success for all members.
